I hate having to say this but I never understood latching onto Harry as potentially Indian - or anything other than Anglo-Saxon - when there are too many canon clues against it. That his bloodline literally goes back to Saxon or even Pictish and he's a direct male-line descendent of those peoples who have been in England for 2000 years. That he went to the Ball with a lovely Indian girl who might have had a lot to say about their family histories if he was also Indian. That his mother's side has explicit descriptions of hair and eye color. Yes, HP as a franchise could have been a lot better about diversity but this particular fanon is not the answer it needs.

Make more people besides just Parvati and Padma Indian. Make more people than Blaise Zabini black. Just pick characters that don't have a shitload of descriptions competing against the concept. Hell, pick major characters if you want! Dumbledore has the only descriptors of a lengthy snowy beard and crooked nose, he could be any ethnicity!

His bloodline the what now?

I agree with the rest of what you're saying but where does this come from?

Harry inherited the invisibility cloak that was passed down to descendants of the third Peverell brother.

Unless his paternal ancestors were very inbred, I don't see how this proves anything. I mean, there are real life Black people who can trace their ancestry to Thomas Jefferson, you know? I agree with your broader point, but I don't think this particular argument offers good support for it.
